Chapter one::Secrets told

"Our first student to be sorted is an honorary student from Durmstrang and she is a seventh year. Malfoy, Athena." A girl with jet black hair and silver eyes came forward. She had a rich tan, and clearly took after her mother, Narcisa Malfoy. Her brother looked up with intense eyes. Her eyes showed she was nervous. 'hm...you're a malfoy huh? You'd do wonderfully in Slytherin, but you have doubt. You're doubting your ability to follow your dark lord. You're brave, quick witted, smart, loyal, but doubtful. I know...' The hat then yelled out..."GRYFFINDOR!"

The shock on everybody's face, except the first years who had no clue what the big deal was, could not compare to that of Draco and Athena's. She stood and slowly walked to Gryffindor who were all glaring daggers. A Malfoy in Gryffindor. Her silver bright silver eyes seemed dull and clouded in worry and disappointment. Dumbledore seemed to be the first to recover.

"Minerva, the sorting shall proceed?"

"Of course Headmaster." the sorting continued on without much shock. Dumbledore stood, made his announcements then the food appeared. Athena ate little that night and all the boys stared. Seamus looked at her curiously,' How can someone so damn beautiful come from that sleezeball's family? Much less his sister!' Seamus then noticed her eyes on him.

"Is there something wrong Finnigan?" the voice made Seamus go rigid with fright.

"N-n-n-no....Malfoy."

"Good, cuz I don't want a half blood lookin at my sister that way. Now, Athena, please come with me. I need to speak with you." Athena nodded and followed him into the hallway. "What happened? Why weren't you sorted into Slytherin?"

"Hell if I know, it said something about having a doubt in my mind. Something about not believing in my Lord. I'm his fucking heiress if something happens to you, how could I have doubt?"

"Athena, father isn't going to be happy about this."

"You don't have to tell me twice. Do you think I wanted to be put in a house with a bunch of mudbloods and goody-goodies?"

"Well, how am I supposed to know that? I'm only worried about my baby sister."

"Draco your two minutes older than me."

"Thus you're my baby sister." Draco smiled and kissed her forehead. "I'm sure if we talk it out with our mother first things won't be horrible, father respects mother, and they haven't seen you in years. We've missed you, I've missed you." Athena smiled adorable and Draco's heart went out to the poor child. They shared an adorable sibling moment together then returned into the hall, Draco gave her a look of sympathy before going to Slytherin, and glomped by Pansy Parkinson. Athena watched him, he always did have more luck than she, but he always took care of her. She sat at the end of the table and the Gryffindors tried to sit as far away as possible.

As their schedules came in the next morning, Draco ran to his twin with his in hand. The Slytherin house thinking he was mad for even thinking of sitting on Gryffindor territory, but saw him sit with his sister. They looked at each other, then Slytherin saw Athena hug her brother teary eyed, as he whispered something into her ear. A howler flew to her hands at breakfast, from Lucious, saying she was a disgrace to the Malfoy name and she'd be severely punished, then sent back to Durmstrang, but Mrs. Malfor jumped into the howler yelling at Lucious saying she'd just gotten her baby girl home and was NOT sending her away to live with freaks, unless Draco accompanied her, knowing fully Lucious would not send away his ticket to becoming the next dark lord.

Draco and Athena stood and left the great hall together, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the rest of Gryffindor watched, disgusted with Athena. True she was a Malfoy, but to associate with a Slytherin, was even lower than being a Malfoy, in their opinions.

"Hermione, does she talk in her sleep?"

"No, but she did do something odd. She like went into a trance and started saying killing muggles and muggleborns was the reason she was created."

"Doesn't make sense."

"It makes perfect sense. She's the heiress to You-Know-Who, should something happen Draco. But if Draco stays alive, he gets everything in Voldemort's possession. She's just a backup, and in the meantime, just a follower, she was not created for a specific reason. Just an extra package in the whome, Draco and Athena, Athena will be Draco's follower and right hand person until he has children. Therefore, she's only good for helping rid the world of Muggles and Muggleborns."

"Jeez, Hermione, the way you say it I almost feel sorry for the girl. ALMOST!" Ron said looking down.

"Here's the worst part, Neither of them had a choice, they were promised to You-Know-Who, before Narcissa was even pregnant. That's what's sad. To offer your unconceived children as basically sacrifices, should they not want this."

"Granger, we didn't know you cared. But, we assure you, Lucious is not one we'd want to disobey. We obey him, he gets us what we want. Works out quite nicely. And, we rid the world of trash like you in the proccess. Mudbloods are defiling things and are not worthy of learing the art of magic. As it is, that will all end soon. Oh, and we'd appreciate it if you didn't defile our name by calling out our names as if you're on a first name basis, because as it stands we are not, nor will ever be as so." Draco walked off leaving his sister to stare at his back.

"Hermione, I'm sorry he said those rude things, please don't hate us for it. We love our father very much along with our mother. It erks him to know you'd think so lowly about his father that you'd compare him to us. Yes we are Malfoys, but totally different from our Father. As for loving him, we only love because he is our father. We hate what he does, but like Dray said. We are not ones to stupidly disobey him. Lucious is a powerful man, and very hard to ignore. True he was a bit selfish, still is for that matter, but he's our father still. Just because you're a muggleborn girl, you're not a bad person, but it's true, muggles were not supposed to know about the magic world, but then these stupid witches and wizards go off and marry muggles and have off spring. Because of that, Magic learned to skip generations, that's what happened to you. it skipped your parents. You really don't have any business being here, but the purebloods are going to stop this. I can't do anything about, neither can Draco, so we roll with it. Just remember, when Draco says that, he doesn't think you're a bad person, just that you have dirty blood. Which is true. Muggles aren't supposed to know, but they do, that's what makes them dirty. You have that blood, but little do you or Draco, or my father know, but you are pureblooded."

Hermione was absorbing all of this."I am so not a pureblood. It isn't possible, both my parents are muggles."

"True, your legal parents, but they aren't your birth parents. At first I didn't know either, but at Durmstrang there was a woman teacher named Elizabeth Anne Lee Sisley. She had a picture of a girl, I duplicated it because I thought she was pretty. The teacher was like my mother away from my real mother. She said I reminded her of her daughter who is currently living with muggles(to her dislike). She said her name was LeeAnne Elizabeth Sisley, but when the muggles took her in, they changed her name to Hermione Elizabeth Granger. Now tell me Hermione, is your middle name Elizabeth?"

"Yes, but..."

"Your mother teaches at durmstrang, here's the picture of you from your desk."

"No doubt about it Hermione, that's you with us."

"How did she get this pic?"

"Your parents have kept in touch, but I believe I've said too much, good day." She walked away from the golden trio and sat at the end of the table by herself.

Later that day, Athena was sitting through Herbology(the only class without her brother). Today the were dealing with Sun Blossoms, these were tricky pink flowers that if a shadow loomed over them, they'd fall asleep. If not asleep, they'd bite at whoever was trying to pick them up. Athena was currently tying back her hair as instructed by Professor Sprout. She was partnered with Neville longbottom who, not only was a clutz but, had the biggest crush on Athena. Hermione found it sweet he liked her. She also found it admirable that he got up the courage to ask her out, but she declined. She said she was too different from him and would only end up hurting him for what she was going to become. She couldn't even understand why he liked her seeing how she was following the guy who tourmented Neville's parents into St. Mungo's. How could he have simply come up to her and ask him out.

She put on her gloves and picked up the plant carefully, as to avoid being bitten by the plant that was growling viciously in her hands. Harry had to admit, for a Malfoy she was kinda nice, and very beautiful.
